Soil Remediation and Water Retention Pond

Two existing cells at a remote but well-known soil treatment facility were in need of repair.

The Titan Solution

With established fabrication facilities in Canada and the USA, Titan used the latest technology to custom fabricate pre-seamed geomembrane panels for this mining site project.

This project required two 24mil Reinforced Polyethylene (RPE) pre-fabricated panels in conjunction with four TE-8 NW Geotextile pre-fabricated Panels. RPE is flexible in extremely low temperatures and contains high chemical resistance properties, while the TE-8 Non-woven Geotextile (used for reinforcement) is inert to commonly encountered soil chemicals. These products were the most cost-effective solution cutting down on welding and installation times.

The remote location of this project made geomembrane fabrication the better solution over on-site seaming for logistical reasons. The panels were uniquely packaged by Titan to accommodate delivery by helicopter. Titan prefabricated and installed 32,466 SF (3016 m2) of 24mil RPE geomembrane panels and 64,968 SF (6,035 m2) TE-8 Non-woven geotextile.

Achievement

The prefab construction of the panels also reduced welding and installation times; resulting in favorable cost-savings for the customer.

Titan worked closely with a global top-tier design firm to develop the prefabrication solution best suited for this mine site project. Our crew used their experience and expertise to complete the job on time and within budget with uncompromising quality.

As a result of this initiative tremendous improvement in the region's stormwater management capacities is being seen. Furthermore the use of stormwater chambers and geomembrane innovation has significantly reduced soil contamination concerns, helping to protect local ecosystems and water resources. Beyond resolving urgent difficulties, this project has laid the groundwork for a comprehensive stormwater management strategy for Southern Alberta while highlighting the effectiveness of a long-term, sustainable solution.
